Parents say concerns were not acted on before London nursery worker’s arrest for abusing children
AI Summary
Vincent Chan, a nursery worker at a Bright Horizons nursery in north London, pleaded guilty to 26 offences of child sexual abuse committed between 2017 and June 2024. Parents of children who attended the nursery have alleged that their concerns about Chan's behavior, including injuries to children and encouraging fighting, were not taken seriously by Bright Horizons. A solicitor representing the parents stated that Chan also shouted at the toddlers in his class. Bright Horizons acknowledged the allegations and stated that a child safeguarding practice review will investigate whether Chan's actions could have been detected earlier. It has also emerged that Bright Horizons employed another worker, Alison Whateley, who was arrested in 2017 for expressing a sexual interest in children.
